BY JULIAN A. SELBY A Bi-cxstenntat..-?A bi-ccntemiial celebration of uo insiguificnnt interest find importance took place at Swanzey, R. I.. Juno 22, 1875. The settlement of tbo place was an unusual occurrence in the history of the colonies. The lands occupied by the town were n part of the territory purchased by the Plymouth colony of the great Indian Sachem, Massosoit. The first settlers were the Rev. John Niles, a Baptist clergyman, from Wales, and a small body of his friends, ?'wbo, coming to this country, sought a spot where the}- could exercise entire freedom of conscience." This they found Jn the Plymouth colony alone, and, Therefore, purchased lands and placed themselves under the juris? diction of the Plymouth court. They named the town Swanzey, from the home of Mr. Niles. in the old* country. Here the Baptist Church of America found its early foothold, and here, seven years after the settlement of the town, Philip, of Pokanoket, grand-son of the great Sachem Massasoit, commenced that war which raged through the colonies of Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth, and a part of Connecticut, for more than a x year, and at one time threatened to de? stroy the entire English settlement in New England. Tbo incidents of this war form some of tbo most tragic chap? ters in our early history. It was at this time that the colonists first developed that martial spirit which served them so good a purpose in the old French war and in the war of indspendence. The dinner commenced at 12 o'clock, and at its close the literary exercises were opened by Dr. Loring, who spoke more than an hour, giving a sketch of the settlement of Swanzey, the religious freedom which prevailed there, and the scenes of the terrible conflict known as King Philip's war. Referring to the attack on the town, which was the initia? tion of the great war, ho said: It was on a day of fasting and humiliation and of prayer to Almighty God that He would avert the horrors of the impending war, the 24th of June, 1(175, that the savage made his second attack on the town. Her people here had been lulled into confidence and repose by a conscious? ness of their own honest intentions, and by daily familiar intercourse with the aboriginal occupants of the wigwams which crowned these hills and sought seclusion and protection in these valleys. The old members had taught themselves to believe'that their gray hairs were safe and respected; the young men had con? fidently applied their strength to a better service than the work of war; the mo? ther had long since laid aside all fear fcr the safety of her child; the child had not yet learned that the red-skinned maiden was her natural foe; when the mask fell from the face of the savage, and his cruel and infernal elesigns be? came manifest The doors of the little church had just closed and the worshippers were return ? ing to their homes, heavy with the thought of the danger which suddenly hnng over them like a dark, threatening cloud, when the attack was made. We are told that one was killed and others wounded; two men were killed who were sent for a surgeon, and near Burn's gar? rison six men were murdered, upon whose bodies the savages exercised more than brutish barbarities, beheading, dis? membering and mangling them, and ex? posing them in the most inhuman man? ner, which gashed and ghastly objects struck a damp on all beholders. The war became general thoughout the Mas? sachusetts and Plymouth colonies. Phi? lip, subtle, vindictive, ambitious and desperate, united all the tribes from the waters of the bay to the Connecticut River, in what he called a desperate struggle for the land of his fathers. The tomb of Perc la Chaise, supposed the contain the remains of Abelunl and | Heloise, and to date from tbo twelfth | century, is a Parisian swindle. It wi s constructed in 180U from the debris c f the Church of St. Denis, badly damaged by the Republicans, and in the tomb thus constructed were placed two bodies that were "believed-' to bo the lovers. On the strength of these facts objection is made in Paris ;?> th>> expenditure of public money in the renovation of the monuuK nt.
